Numerical Expressions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
(15 − 5) ÷ 2 means divide 15 by 2, then subtract 5
Rewrite: (15 − 5) ÷ 2 means subtract 5 from 15, then divide by 2
2. Fix the sentence:
Multiply 4 by 8, then add 3 is written as 4 × 8 × 3
Rewrite: Multiply 4 by 8, then add 3 is written as (4 × 8) + 3
3. Fix the sentence:
Add 7 and 13, then divide by 10 is written as 7 + (13 ÷ 10)
Rewrite: Add 7 and 13, then divide by 10 is written as (7 + 13) ÷ 10
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Add 16 and 4, then multiply by 5 is written as (16 + 4) × 5.
2. Subtract 9 from 21, then divide by 6 is written as (21 − 9) ÷ 6.
3. Divide 40 by 8, then subtract 1 is written as (40 ÷ 8) − 1.
4. Multiply 3 by 9, then add 6 is written as (3 × 9) + 6.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Write a numerical expression for: Divide 24 by 6, then add 9. Explain what your expression means.
(24 ÷ 6) + 9. This means you first find the quotient of 24 and 6, which is 4, then add 9 to that quotient.
2. Write a numerical expression for: Subtract 3 from 15, then multiply by 4. Explain what it represents.
(15 − 3) × 4. This means you first find the difference of 15 and 3, which is 12, then multiply that difference by 4.
Numerical Expressions
★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
(15 − 5) ÷ 2 means divide 15 by 2, then subtract 5
Rewrite: (15 − 5) ÷ 2 means subtract 5 from 15, then divide by 2
2) Fix the sentence:
Multiply 4 by 8, then add 3 is written as 4 × 8 × 3
Rewrite: Multiply 4 by 8, then add 3 is written as (4 × 8) + 3
3) Fix the sentence:
Add 7 and 13, then divide by 10 is written as 7 + (13 ÷ 10)
Rewrite: Add 7 and 13, then divide by 10 is written as (7 + 13) ÷ 10
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) Add 16 and 4, then multiply by 5 is written as (16 + 4) × 5.
2) Subtract 9 from 21, then divide by 6 is written as (21 − 9) ÷ 6.
